Abstract
Description
冷却水循環経路としては、例えばブロック側W/J511が組み込まれた循環経路であるブロック側循環経路C1がある。このブロック側循環経路C1を流通する冷却水は、W/P11から吐出された後、ブロック側W/J511を流通し、さらにサーモスタット13を介するか、或いはラジエータ12およびサーモスタット13を介してW/P11に戻るようになっている。ラジエータ12は熱交換器であり、流通する冷却水と空気との間で熱交換を行うことで冷却水を冷却する。サーモスタット13はW/P11に入口側から連通する流通経路を切り替える。具体的にはサーモスタット13は、冷却水温が所定値未満の場合にラジエータ12をバイパスする流通経路を連通状態にし、所定値以上の場合にラジエータ12を流通する流通する流通経路を連通状態にする。
またこのように設けられた流量調節弁14は、シリンダブロック51の冷却能力を抑制することなく、シリンダヘッド52の冷却能力を抑制可能な冷却能力調整手段となっている。具体的には例えば流量調節弁14は、シリンダブロック51およびシリンダヘッド52にともに冷却水を流通させる高回転高負荷時のシリンダブロック51の冷却能力およびシリンダヘッド52の冷却能力がある場合に、これらの冷却能力に対してシリンダブロック51の冷却能力を抑制することなく、シリンダヘッド52の冷却能力を抑制可能な冷却能力調整手段となっている。
さらにこのように設けられた流量調節弁14は、シリンダヘッド52の冷却能力を抑制するようにヘッド側W/J521を流通する冷却水の流量を調節した場合に、シリンダブロック51の冷却能力を高めるようにブロック側W/J511を流通する冷却水の流量を調節可能な冷却能力調整手段となっている。
制御手段は、具体的には機関運転状態が高負荷である場合に、シリンダヘッド52の冷却能力を抑制するための制御を行うように実現される。
さらに具体的には、制御手段は機関運転状態が低回転高負荷である場合に、流量調節弁14を制御することで、ヘッド側W/J521に基づき発揮される冷却能力を抑制するための制御を行うように実現される。
この点、機関運転状態は具体的にはエンジン50の回転数および負荷のほか、冷間運転時であるか否か、または機関始動時であるか否かに応じて図4に示す6つの区分D1からD6までに分類されている。そして制御手段が制御を行うにあたっては、具体的には以下に示すように区分D1からD6まで毎に満たすべき要求を設定するとともに、設定した要求を満たすための制御指針を定めている。
この点、吸気ポート52aの昇温を図るにあたっては、例えば流量調節弁14を閉弁、或いは小さな開度で開弁することができる。
またシリンダ51a上部の昇温を図るにあたっては、例えばW/P11を停止、或いは低吐出量で駆動することができる。
また排気ポート52bの昇温を図るにあたっては、例えば流量調節弁14を閉弁、或いは小さな開度で開弁することができる。
この点、シリンダヘッド52の断熱を図るにあたっては、例えば流量調節弁14を閉弁、或いは小さな開度で開弁することができる。
また吸気ポート52aの昇温を図るにあたっては、例えば流量調節弁14を閉弁、或いは小さな開度で開弁することができる。
またシリンダ51a上部の昇温を図るにあたっては、例えばW/P11を停止、或いは低吐出量で駆動することができる。
この点、吸気ポート52aの冷却を図るにあたっては、例えば流量調節弁14を全開、或いは大きな開度で開弁することができる。
またシリンダ51a上部の冷却を図るにあたっては、例えばW/P11を機関運転時に適用される最大吐出量、或いは高吐出量で駆動することができる。
またシリンダヘッド52の断熱を図るにあたっては、例えば流量調節弁14を閉弁、或いは小さな開度で開弁することができる。
この点、点火プラグ56周りと吸排気ポート52a、52b間と排気ポート52bとの冷却を図るにあたっては、例えば流量調節弁14を全開にすることができる。
また吸気ポート52aの冷却を図るにあたっては、例えば流量調節弁14を全開にすることができる。
一方、ノッキングの低減という要求に対しては、吸気ポート52aの冷却のほか、例えばシリンダ51a上部の冷却を図ることもできる。これに対してシリンダ51a上部の冷却を図るにあたっては、例えばW/P11を機関運転時に適用される最大吐出量で駆動することができる。
この点、シリンダヘッド52の熱伝達促進を図るにあたっては、シリンダヘッド52での冷却水の受熱の寄与が大きいことを考慮して、例えば流量調節弁14を開弁することができる。
また吸気ポート52aの昇温を図るにあたっては、例えば流量調節弁14を閉弁、或いは小さな開度で開弁することができる。
またシリンダ51a上部の昇温を図るにあたっては、例えばW/P11を停止、或いは低吐出量で駆動することができる。
この点、吸気ポート52aの昇温を図るにあたっては、例えば流量調節弁14を閉弁、或いは小さな開度で開弁することができる。
また点火プラグ56周りの昇温を図るにあたっては、例えば流量調節弁14を閉弁、或いは小さな開度で開弁することができる。
またシリンダ51a上部の昇温を図るにあたっては、例えばW/P11を停止、或いは低吐出量で駆動することができる。
また制御手段は、機関運転状態が区分D3に対応する低回転高負荷である場合には、流量調節弁14を閉弁、或いはシリンダヘッド52への冷却水の流通を抑制しつつ、シリンダヘッド52における冷却水の沸騰を抑制可能な態様(以下、沸騰抑制態様と称す)で開弁するための制御を行うように実現される。
また制御手段は、機関運転状態が区分D4に対応する高回転高負荷である場合には、流量調節弁14を全開にするための制御を行うように実現される。
そして冷却装置1では、流量調節弁14が全開でない場合にシリンダヘッド52への冷却水の流通を抑制することで、シリンダヘッド52の冷却能力を抑制していることになる。この点、冷却装置1ではさらに具体的には、流量調節弁14を閉弁するか、或いは沸騰抑制態様で流量調節弁14を開弁している場合にシリンダヘッド52の冷却能力を抑制していることになる。
一方、この場合にはノッキングの発生が懸念される。これに対して冷却装置1では、シリンダブロック51の冷却能力を抑制することなく、シリンダヘッド52の冷却能力を抑制可能な流量調節弁14を制御することで、ヘッド側W/J521を流通する冷却水の流量を制限する。このため冷却装置1ではこれによりシリンダ51aの冷却を維持でき、以ってノッキングの発生も抑制できる。
また冷却装置1では、内側壁部W1を高熱伝導性材料で構成したことで、機関運転状態が高負荷である場合に、部分W/J511aを流通する冷却水でシリンダ51aの冷却を行うことができる。このため冷却装置1では、これによりノッキングの発生を抑制でき、以って機関暖機の促進と冷却損失の低減とを両立することができる。また、これによりボアの変形を抑制することもできる。
また冷却装置1では、ガスケット54が高い熱伝導率を有していることから、機関運転状態が軽負荷である場合に、シリンダヘッド52からシリンダブロック51への熱伝達によってシリンダ51a上部の昇温を図ることもできる。このため冷却装置1では、これにより軽負荷時の燃焼速度向上を図ることもできる。
例えば上述した実施例では、エンジン50の運転を成立させるにあたって好適であることなどから、W/P11が冷却媒体圧送手段である場合について説明した。しかしながら本発明においては必ずしもこれに限られず、冷却媒体圧送手段は例えばエンジンの出力で駆動する機械式W/Pであってもよい。
しかしながら本発明においては必ずしもこれに限られず、制御手段はエンジンの運転を成立させるにあたってその他の適宜の制御を行ってもよい。この点、例えばシリンダブロックに設けられた第1の冷却媒体通路が複数の第1の部分冷却媒体通路を備えるとともに、シリンダヘッドに設けられた第2の冷却媒体通路が複数の第2の部分冷却媒体通路を備える場合に、これら第1および第2の部分冷却媒体通路それぞれに対応させてシリンダブロックまたはシリンダヘッドの冷却能力を部分的に調整可能な複数の部分冷却能力調整手段を備えるとともに、前述の制御指針に基づいて、冷却媒体圧送手段や、冷却能力調整手段や、部分冷却能力調整手段を適宜制御してもよい。これにより、エンジンの運転をさらに好適に成立させることもできる。
しかしながら本発明においては必ずしもこれに限られず、冷却装置が例えば第2の冷却媒体通路から抜き取った冷却媒体を貯留する貯留手段と、この貯留手段と第2の冷却媒体通路との間で冷却媒体を移送する冷却媒体圧送手段とをさらに備えるとともに、制御手段が、当該冷却媒体圧送手段を制御することで、機関運転状態が低回転高負荷である場合に、少なくとも一時的にシリンダヘッドから冷却媒体を抜き取るための制御を行うようにしてもよい。かかる貯留手段および冷却媒体圧送手段に相当する構成としては、具体的には例えば特開2009-79505号公報に記載の蓄熱タンクおよび電動ポンプがある。これにより冷却損失をさらに好適に低減させることができる。
これにより、燃焼速度の向上や冷却損失の低減や機関暖機促進などをさらに図ることができ、以ってエンジンの運転をさらに好適に成立させることができる。
しかしながら本発明においては必ずしもこれに限られず、冷却装置が例えば第1および第2の冷却媒体通路に蓄熱冷却媒体を供給可能な蓄熱冷却媒体供給手段をさらに備えるとともに、機関運転状態がアイドル状態であるか、機関冷間時或いは機関始動時であり、且つ蓄熱冷却媒体の温度が冷却媒体の温度よりも高い場合に、制御手段が当該蓄熱冷却媒体供給手段から蓄熱冷却媒体を供給するための制御を行ってもよい。かかる蓄熱冷却媒体供給手段に相当する構成としては、具体的には例えば特開2009-208569号公報に記載の熱交換部がある。
さらにこの場合、制御手段は例えばシリンダヘッドの冷却能力を部分的に調整する部分冷却能力調整手段のうち、点火プラグや排気ポートや吸気ポートに対応させて設けられた部分冷却能力調整手段を制御することで、蓄熱冷却媒体の流量を増大させるための制御を行ってもよい。
これにより、機関暖機促進や未燃HCの低減やエンジン着火性の向上をさらに好適に図ることなどができ、この結果、エンジンの運転をさらに好適に成立させることができる。
